Quotations:
"Wherefore are these things hid? Wherefore have these gifts a curtain before 'em? Are they like to take dust, like Mistress Mall’s picture? Why dost thou not go to church in a galliard and come home in a coranto? My very walk should be a jig. I would not so much as make water but in a sink-a-pace. What dost thou mean? Is it a world to hide virtues in? I did think, by the excellent constitution of thy leg, it was formed under the star of a galliard."
=== "Let him be the devil, an he will, I care not. Give me faith, say I. Well, it’s all one. "[1] === "Dost thou think, because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale?" [2] === "I think oxen and wainropes cannot hale them together. For Andrew, if he were opened and you find so much blood in his liver as will clog the foot of a flea, I’ll eat the rest of the anatomy. " [3] === "No, faith, I’ll not stay a jot longer." [4]
"This will so fright them both that they will kill one another by the look, like cockatrices."

- Toby wants to scare both Sir Andrew and Viola/Cersario, so the fight will be hilarious.
